    No rational person would compare Eubank to GGG and Kov. Those two have immense amateur and pro experienced, got a very good handle on technique and are older and more mature. Eubank has little/no experience in amateur and limited pro experience. He is also very raw and needs time to master his craft. The other two have had a lot of time and experience doing this.

    If the guy didn't have talent then he wouldn't have made the fight against BJS so competitive.

    Fury is far more skilled, and isn't living off of his fathers name. Tell me when Eubank jr. puts up a performance like Fury did against Kevin Johnson, and Chisora in the rematch.

    Time will tell. Both have looked good in some fights and bad in some fights.

    I'm not sure who had the worse corner, Algieri or Eubank Jr.

    i have been questioning his whole camp and management from the start. they didnt give him the best chance of winning. this just shows that even if you are yourself a world champion boxer, this does not mean you make a good trainer/manager. eubank jr needs to wake up and go out on his own.

    not sure, im not too familiar with the whole Eubank think, ive only really tuned in again since junior started boxing.

    only someone being paid handsomely would put up with the eubanks bull****.

    He lost because Saunders is better than him

    He lost because he was out of his dept and didn't have a clue how to land shots in the early/mid part of the fight against a fighter who better than journeyman status

    To big a leap up in class and it showed

    How the **** can anyone honestly give this to Eubank?! I was rooting for him but anything over than a minimum of a 1-2 round swing is utter bollox.

    Listern I for one respect BJS more then ever now, his chin is not weak and he is a very good boxer, hopefully will now go on and get a world title.

    Also Eubank proved he belongs at this level, make no mistake the last 6 rounds BJS wasn't liking it. Eubank still has time but will have to improve his work rate if he wants to go onto world level.

    But lets be clear BJS wasn't a million miles above him, no way

    Your mugging yourself off mate, BJS won it but lets be fair the last 6rounds he looked worried. No problems BJS winning but don't mug off eubank, as he really got back into the fight.. he finished the stronger.
